This is what I don't get. Is every handball a foul or not? If it is, then it's a pen. If not, then you could give it, but in most cases you wouldn't because Shaw knew nothing about it.

If we take account current season calls with VAR and there has not been rule change then it should be. But it is what it is, what can you do.
Love how Phillips is managing to suck out any fun Bruno could have. Man marking him so well.
We are relaying to much on our defense and attack is lacking a lot. Can see we are missing quality to make runs and passes. Costa seems so off pace and disinterested. Hope Poveda on for him and then Pablo for last 20min.

Yeah strange watching a Bielsa side worry about containment than going the other way today
Why? He learns opponent and plays against accordingly. Yes he sometimes might not be so adventure going forward but we still tried to push. Ole played 2 DMs against us where our front has been weakened and we could not risk too much against your counter. Like I told in other thread, losing Costa messed up everything as we did not have a winger to bring on as we just subbed Harrison off 4-5 min ago.
Hope we sell Costa or Robertson(hopefully both but we need some backup. ) We can use that money to bolster better player into the team + give more game-time maybe for u23 players who where already on the bench.
Now as Costa, Raph, Rodrigo are out and last games of the season, then maybe this gives opportunity to test out U23 players also. Really want to see Greenwood and Gelhardt in action already this season.

Ole plays 2 DMs versus everyone lol. Don’t think it was special just for Leeds
Very good half. All players are stepping up considering the injury our main guys are having. Kane goal should be standing that is crazy again for offisde call.

Looks a perfectly good decision to me.

Yep saw the news. Strange to do it quietly but it happened last summer. Think it should be until 2023 right now, glad to keep him in. Amazing asset, loves the club and mentality he has is beyong amazing. His post match intervjues and podcast that Leeds does almost weakly are also good listening.

Could have made it at Chelsea if they showed more faith in him.
Nope
As brilliant person and player he has been, there are flaws in him. He would not got over them with managers Chelsea had. Biggest issue is confidence, I think it might still come out when fans come back to stadium and he might not hit form well to start off. But Bielsa has worked magic with him, confidence is there, skill set has improved and full team support. Something he would never gotten in Chelsea.
When we bought him from Middlesbrough their fans where very happy to get rid of him. Liverpool is the only system I could see him fit the best into. City would come next.

I'm glad you said that as I started to then didn't want to offend you.
The confidence thing is glaring. I think you need to be looking for a consistent goalscorer as I can see him disappearing back into his shell when fans are back in grounds and not trying half the things he has this year with the freedom of nobody on his back if it's not come off.
Lot of players/ teams like that that have benefited through COVID football.

Guess it’s hard to build confidence if your not gonna get a chance despite being good coming through. Oh and your manager changes like the wind
I dont mind if you would say these things. Rather have discussions than hold back afraid of some feelings
But it the truth, think he is getting a bit over this maybe with this covid season and how much he is trusted by the clubs and teammates. Fans might even elevate now him even higher. Time will tell and hope to see crowds in the stands next season.
Reading into other thread about GK situation, god it is good to have amazing keeper coming through and being already so impactful so young.
Hope they will be uninjured during the Euros, but it is good to see him giving well needed rest for them. Both of them have been playing a bit trough injury so this is good way to give them time to heal up and not make it worse in the summer.

Is there any ‘official’ line on what the nature of Burnley’s complaint was Saturday?
Not that I have noticed yet. Too soon maybe.
Dyche confirmed that one of their player made report and that was given to FA.
Alioski can be triggered easily but there must be something bigger said or done by McNeil to be act like that + asking ref if he heard what he told.

The secrecy is ridiculous and just adds to speculation.
Just be transparent about what the complaint is about and deal with it.
